Rainbow Baby Announcement Ideas to Celebrate Your Big News
Pregnancy after a stillbirth, miscarriage, or other loss can feel especially poignant, which is why the arrival of a rainbow baby is so special. It’s a moment to cherish and a chance to look forward to what’s to come. And what better way to share the wonderful news than with a rainbow baby announcement? Here, you’ll find some of our favorite ideas for sharing the news that you’re expecting as well as announcement ideas once your baby has arrived.
9 Sweet Rainbow Baby Pregnancy Announcement Ideas
One of the best ways to make your rainbow baby announcement is with a creative photo. To capture the moment, consider these ideas for your digital pregnancy announcement card that you can send to family members and other close loved ones. You can also use these ideas for social media posts.
1. Rainbow Banner
Let everyone know there’s a special someone on their way with a rainbow banner that says “Baby on the way,” “Our family is growing,” or “Miracle baby due soon.” Make your own DIY banner out of craft paper and markers or buy a rainbow wall hanging from an indie marketplace like Etsy.
2. Rainbow Onesie
Create a sweet flat lay with a pregnancy test, sonogram photo, and an adorable baby onesie or bodysuit for your new arrival. There are plenty of gorgeous rainbow-themed onesies whether you love all things minimal and contemporary or want to go bold and bright.
3. Rainbow Baby Bump
If you want to sprinkle some creativity into your pregnancy announcement, put your baby bump front and center and use it as a canvas. Paint a beautiful rainbow or a design that features the sky, clouds, and a rainbow, to symbolize how special this pregnancy is. Or you can simply hang a rainbow decoration in front of your baby bump.
4. Rainbow Flowers
Flowers make an ideal photo prop and rainbow baby announcements are no exception. Gather your favorite blooms in a variety of colors to create a rainbow effect — either bright blooms or soft pastels. Style these with a letter board and an ultrasound photo to share your exciting news.
5. Rainbow Balloons
We’re used to seeing balloons at everything from birthday parties to anniversaries but they also make great styling props for a rainbow baby announcement. Arrange for a photo shoot at a scenic location where you can hold a brilliant bouquet of rainbow balloons. Another option is to arrange the balloons to create a rainbow arch so you can stand in the middle and perhaps hold a letter board that shares the baby’s due date.
6. Rainbow Artwork
If there’s a budding artist in your family, call on them to create beautiful rainbow artwork to help you break your exciting baby news. Ask a talented family member to create a watercolor canvas that you can have forever as a keepsake, or have one of your children create a design that you can wear on a T-shirt.
7. Rainbow Umbrella
Shelter yourselves from a rainy day or symbolize the beauty after a storm with the help of a rainbow umbrella. These are easy to find, fun to style, and make a wonderful prop to help you tell the story of your pregnancy.
8. Rainbow Cookies
Give yourself a fun and tasty way to share your exciting news with a batch of sweet rainbow cookies. Lay the cookies on a plate, surrounded by rainbow sprinkles, and snap a photo to serve as the backdrop to your rainbow baby announcement. Bonus: Once your photos are taken, you get to eat those delicious cookies!
9. Baby Onesie with Rainbow Confetti
For a classic baby announcement, you can’t go wrong with a baby onesie flat lay. Simply sprinkle some brightly colored or pastel-toned rainbow confetti against a tablecloth or wooden backdrop. You can use puffy paint to write out the words “Rainbow baby coming soon” on the onesie itself or add your message to a mini chalkboard or letter board.
